Anonymous or not, r/Denver is my home community. It's distasteful to automatically brand someone as dangerous or rude because of the vehicle that they drive. Being a truly kind person, it was ironic to me that I was cast into a role of an asshole straight out of the gate. That kind of negative stereotype is dangerous and contagious, and I feel somewhat responsible for doing the right thing, and reminding people of that. I don't care to prove anything with regards to myself, I just want to help make people better as people.

If I positively affected just ONE person to think about that kind of thing more critically next time before throwing stones, then it's worth it to me.

Did I take a big chance by outing myself as the "enemy" to a group of people with lit torches and pitchforks? Obviously. But I feel responsible for sharing kindness, especially given the title of the thread. I don't mind getting beat around anonymously if it makes someone change their perspective.

In the end, the car that people drive doesn't make them the asshole, and I am tired of seeing anyone do that, regardless of venting or otherwise.

The public schools dont have enough money. We dont pay enough for our childrens' education. We dont pay our teachers enough for the incredible responsibility we place on them. If you think our schools are over-funded in all areas, then you have some learning to do yourself.

You're correct, negative stereotypes aren't created in a vacuum, but that also doesn't mean they should be allowed to persist indefinitely as we navigate throughout our lives. They're incredibly dangerous and contagious. Look at how I was treated in this thread just by being honest - it's a perfect example of what I was trying to say before all the pitchforks came out.

All things aside, I'm really sorry that those things happened to you, and that you've had so many interactions with all of those assholes, especially the one this morning (regardless of their mode of transportation :P). I wish we knew each other or that I would have seen this post when you made it, so I could have offered to bring you a change of clothes.

For all the haters out there, keep hating. It only makes good people want to succeed even more and leave you and your negative energy in their dust.

I've been through so much horrible shit in my life, and I'm still positive. I am modest about many things, but one thing I'm not modest about is how much I care about people and about how much kindness I have. Through all of the negative things I've been through I'm so incredibly blessed to be where I'm at. So, be a smart ass if you want, it's not going to make me any less kind, nor will it bother me in any way. Have an upvote.

This is a sad thing to hear. My wife is a school teacher, and I think it's fantastic that some of the money is going to schools. I really wish it were a higher figure. I wish the seven bucks we're all supposed to get back from the overage of collection would be going to schools too. We don't put near enough emphasis on education anymore.

I'm in healthcare IT. I work to make clinicians level of patient care better for our sick and dying. I love what I do knowing that it helps prolong people's lives and help prevent medical mistakes and errors.

As a stereotype-breaking WRX driver, trust that I would not have sprayed you with that snow. Be careful with making assumptions about others. You might miss some of the best people out there by holding onto that prejudice.

EDIT - I don't give two shits about karma, but I'm 100% correct. Stereotyping makes you a worse person in the end. Try not to do it. Even after you downvoting me, I still wouldn't spray you with snow.

Yeah you're correct, the new dell 11 has baytrail and the acer c740 has broadwell. C740 is now listed on acer's site, not sure yet if you can purchase from them. Baytrail is the 40% less performance I was talking about, sorry for any confusion.

This is completely inaccurate. You should be more concerned with keeping a consistent duration of sleep rather than your wakeup time. The human sleep pattern revolves around R.E.M. sleep, which follows a 90 minute cycle. The minimum sleep you can get to feel rested is 4.5 hours, or 3 full cycles of R.E.M. sleep. After that 4.5 hour base sleep, wake up on the 90 minute mark as your schedule permits. So, 4.5, 6, 7.5, or 9 hours for example. Do this and you'll sleep MUCH better than what OP is recommending. I have extensively studied polyphasic sleep patterns and have been helping my friends and family members sleep better for over 10 years.

If you wake up at the same time every day but go to bed at a different time each night, you will quickly find that OP has no idea what he/she is talking about, no offense OP.

Yeah, actually it does, this isnt the big exaggeration you think it is. Get gsam battery monitor and maybe try to factory reset, and take several days to install your apps while you watch it like a hawk, op

I should time it, but it seems to only take about an hour for me. It's important that you not have the screen on as that will affect the time, plus ensure you have fast charging turned on like someone else mentioned

You could set up an ubuntu server running zfs filesystem on the cheap, and use something like plex for streaming to many devices. Have been doing this for years and it works really well. Zfs has matured a lot and is really great from a data protection standpoint. Zfs is production ready and not going anywhere anytime soon.
